Treasure Hunting In A Barn

We had a fun weekend. So many things on our "to do" list we ignored. Sometimes you just need to have fun.

Heading to rural areas west of us, we went to a flea market. In the early morning sunrise we walked heavy dew in the grass down row after row of vendors.The smell of hot coffee and fresh picked produce lingered in the air. I found a few smalls and was so "in the moment" I didn't take any photos.

After breakfast in a small cafe we decided to visit a few antique shops - one in a large barn. I love barns! The old timber and construction techniques are fascinating.

This quilt was interesting to examine. Hand quilted, narrow back to front binding.
The red was unstable and had faded to a peachy-brown shade.
Note that orange block in the lower left corner.

Well I haven't used electric dunce as an info name for years but I don't know how to change it...That photo of the barn steps leading to the treasure reminds me of a fie story barn filled with many vendors located somewhere just west of Augusta Maine. I went there once many years ago and I don't think I ever got past floor three. What beautiful quilts, and the spool table is so sweet. My name is Karin and I live on a backroad in midcoast Maine. I've always enjoyed your posts.

You really found some wonderful items (again 😉), Dawn, and it is a pleasure you share them with us, so we can enjoy! Love the stitches in the 2-color-quilt, the fabric with the panels, and especially the redwork quilt with the personal notes, that someone must have embroidered once with so much care and love. Well, we do have barns, but believe me... these finds you never see over here. Enjoy your treasures and see you soon!
